- Sassnitz is a small coastal town at the Baltic Sea on the Island of Rügen. In its vicinity are the world-famous chalk cliffs, a tourist magnet. The Mukran Port is also part of the municipality. The overseas port is the starting point for the construction of North Stream 2, a natural gas pipeline that connects Germany directly with Russia. In 2020, the port town hit the international headlines. Even the New York Times reported and cited Mayor Frank Kracht as a staunch opponent from the northeast German province against the rumbling America of Donald Trump. The reason is the undisguised threat from Washington to ruin the international port economically if the natural gas pipeline continues to be built from there. Many jobs and the region's economic stability are at risk. Reporter Klaus Scherer documents the case, questions experts as well as those affected and looks at the behavior of national politicians towards the USA and how they react to the interference in internal affairs.
- In 2020 the USA experienced a multiple catastrophe: No other country in the world was so badly affected by the corona virus pandemic, the economic slump was dramatic, the rise in unemployment it was also, a rift was running through society. On the streets there were protests of both camps with violent riots, authoritarian-fascist traits were evident in the actions of the leader of the nation. And all in the middle of the election year, in which the narcissistic president was vehemently fighting for his re-election. From the start of his presidency, Donald Trump had divided American society, he had incited individual sections of the population against one another, stired up racism, hatred, xenophobia and prejudice, insulted competitors and affronted critical journalists as enemies of the people. The documentary shows how this could happen and what role the targeted disinformation of certain parts of the population through manipulative media plays.
